Conservative commentator Ann Coulter recently tried to shameDelta Air Lines on Twitter after it moved her two seats over on a recent flight and The Daily Shows Trevor Noah had something to say about it. Wow. People, this is the civil rights struggle of our generation, said Noah. How long will white women be asked to move to the back of well, not the back but, just slightly over, two seats? Ann Coulter is basically airplane Rosa Parks.

To assist him on this hard-hitting story, Noah brought in Daily Show correspondent Roy Wood Jr., aka the shows Platinum Medallion Aviation Correspondent. After Noah pointed out that Delta only moved Coulter two seats over within the same row (meaning the same amount of legroom), Wood Jr. exclaimed, Thats not the point, Trevor! Did you hear me? Aisle to window! That means if she had to pee, she had to pass up to two people and do that weird airplane shuffle where you scoot past people and have to decide whether the stranger youre sitting next to gets your butt or a faceful of meat.

Although its a fair point, Noah then stated that its weird to hear Ann Coulter complain so much since she has notoriously slammed the victimhood mentality of liberals, even stating last month on Fox News, That was the theme of my book Guilty. How victims turned themselves into the aggressors and thereby wander around creating other victims. Victims are the biggest bullies in the country now.

Still, Wood Jr. insisted that he is standing by Coulter because All Legroom Matters.

Trevor Noah Calls Out Ann Coulter for Victim Hypocrisy - Yahoo News

She added, @Delta sucks.

Ms. Coulter went on to complain that Delta spends all this $$$ on beautiful aircraft & then hire Nurse Ratchets as flight attendants & gate agents, a reference to Nurse Ratched, the character known to be an overly strict enforcer of the rules in One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest.

She even posted on Twitter a photo of the passenger she said had taken her seat.

In a statement, repeated on Twitter, the airline criticized Ms. Coulter for posting derogatory and slanderous comments and photos in social media about its employees and customers. Delta said it was disappointed in Ms. Coulter and called her actions unnecessary and unacceptable.

The airline said it would refund her $30 for the preferred seat she bought, adding, Delta expects mutual civility throughout the entire travel experience.

She ridiculed the $30 refund, saying on Twitter that it cost her $10,000 of her time to select the seat she wanted, investigate the type of plane and periodically review seat options.

In an email on Monday, she wrote: I spent time reserving that term has a flexible meaning at Delta a specific seat, and thats my hourly rate. I looked up the aircraft, considered my options and booked the seat I wanted. I checked back to see how the flight was filling up to review my options again. I had reasons for choosing 15D, not 15A, or any other seat.

The airlines statement appeared only to incense Ms. Coulter, who continued the fight late into Sunday night and early Monday morning.

She wrote on Twitter: I have been the picture of politeness. If I treated customers they way @Delta does, Id deem facts impolite, too.

In her email, she complained that it was not enough for Delta to boss customers around when were in their control.

Now theyre policing our behavior after were off the plane, she wrote. Perhaps they should spend less time sneering at their customers post-flight commentary and more time investigating why they invite customers to prebook their seats online, only for their gate agents to go into the computer, cancel a reserved seat, print new tickets, and give a prebooked seat to another customer, who apparently wanted the same seat but not quite enough to bother booking it in advance.

In its statement, the airline said that Ms. Coulter had originally booked seat 15F, which was by the window in an exit row, but that within 24 hours of the flights departure, she changed to seat 15D, which is by the aisle.

At the time of boarding, Delta inadvertently moved Coulter to 15A, a window seat, when working to accommodate several passengers with seating requests, the statement said. When there was some confusion with seating assignments during boarding, a flight attendant stepped in and asked that all of the passengers move to the seats noted on their respective tickets. All customers complied and the flight departed without incident.

Ms. Coulter complained that the airline did not communicate the seat change before boarding.

I was in the boarding area 90 minutes before the flight took off, but I was never called to the counter and asked to switch seats, she wrote in the email.

The airline said that what started out as a complaint had turned into a public attack on its employees and customers.

Delta said it had learned about her complaint only after she began tweeting after the flight landed. The company said its social media and customer service workers tried several times to contact her to apologize but did not hear from her until Sunday night.

Delta Air Lines Fires Back at Ann Coulter on Twitter, but Refunds Her $30 - New York Times

After an inflight seat mishap over the weekend, conservative provocateur Ann Coulter took her anger to social media with a series of tweets that Delta Airlines later said was a public attack on their employees and was unnecessary and unacceptable.

The incident began on Saturday when Coulter was bumped from what she said was her pre-booked and pre-paid for booked seat with extra room to another, less comfortable, seat on her flight from New York City to West Palm Beach Florida, according to NBC.

What followed was a barrage of over 30 tweets that included public insults to Delta, the flight attendants on her plane, the Wifi and the woman who was given Coulters original seat, in a tirade that has even poured late into Sunday night. Does your union hate you, @Delta? Not really worth spending all that money on planes when @Deltagate staff give your seat away, one tweet read.

Suck-ass @Deltaspends all this $$$ on beautiful aircraft & then hire Nurse Ratchets as flight attendants & gate agents, another read. She also berated the process in which Delta hires its employees.

Delta tells Ann Coulter her insults are 'unacceptable'

NEW YORK (AP) Delta Air Lines has pushed back at Ann Coulter after the conservative commentator berated the carrier on Twitter over a changed seat assignment.

Coulter began tweeting about the episode Saturday in which she said the airline gave away an "extra room seat" she reserved before a flight from New York to Florida departed. Coulter had booked an aisle seat, but got a window seat.

She joked that Delta hires people who seek to be prison guards, animal handlers or East German police. She also tweeted a photo of a woman she said took the seat she booked and labeled her "dachshund-legged."

Delta responded to Coulter on Twitter on Sunday night that it was refunding her the extra $30 she paid for her preferred seat. It added that "your insults about our other customers and employees are unacceptable and unnecessary." In a separate statement on its website, the company called Coulter's comments "derogatory and slanderous."

Coulter was moved to a window seat at the time of boarding as the airline was "working to accommodate several passengers with seating requests," Delta said in the statement. Delta said that during some confusion over the assignments, a flight attendant asked everyone to move to the seats listed on their tickets. Coulter and the other passengers complied, according to the airline, and the flight departed.

Coulter continued her online rant against Delta on Monday.

Delta fired back at conservative pundit Ann Coulter on Sunday for what the airline called an unacceptable and unnecessary series of tweets after she was denied the seat she had pre-booked on a Saturday flight.

Coulter went ballistic on social media after she was moved from the aisle seat on a flight from New York to Palm Beach, Florida, to a window seat in the same exit row.

Her new seat was in the same row, just not the exact seat she had selected, a Delta spokesperson told TheWrap.

Delta Fires Back at Ann Coulter for Unacceptable Insults to Passengers, Crew

The commentator and best-selling author had tweeted a photo of the passenger who was seated in her pre-booked seat for an unexplained emergency and ripped the passenger in another tweet as the dachshund-legged woman.

The airline released a critical tweet to Coulter saying, your insults about our other customers and employees are unacceptable and unnecessary.

@AnnCoulter Additionally, your insults about our other customers and employees are unacceptable and unnecessary.

The six-foot-tall Coulter had booked an aisle seat for the extra legroom during the flight from New York to Palm Beach, Florida.

Hey @Delta, she tweeted on Saturday. You mind telling me why it was an emergency to move someone else into the seat I had carefully chosen in advance and booked?

And then Coulter persisted by tweeting a photo of the woman even though she was not to blame for the seat reassignment.

Just when you think it's safe to fly them again, the worst airline in America is STILL: @Delta

Does your union hate you, @Delta? Not really worth spending all that money on planes when @Delta gate staff give your seat away.

"Why are you taking me out of the extra room seat I specifically booked, @Delta?' Flight attendant: "I don't know. pic.twitter.com/a0M1faZXMu

.@Delta didnt give my extra room seat to an air marshall or tall person. Heres the woman given my PRE-BOOKED seat: pic.twitter.com/iDNB8xXXOd

Hey @Delta, you mind telling me why it was an "emergency" to move someone else into the seat I had carefully chosen in advance and booked?

Also, @Delta, your wifi doesn't work -- probably to prevent passengers from tweeting from the plane about how they're being treated.

.@JetBlue has free wifi and doesn't wantonly remove passengers from their assigned seats, booked in advance FOR A REASON. @Delta sucks.

So glad I took time investigate the aircraft & PRE-BOOK a specific seat on @Delta, so some woman could waltz at the last min & take my seat.

But at least @Delta was nice @ it, summarily snatching my ticket from my hand & ordering me to move w/o explanation, compensation or apology

Suckiest @Delta moved me from my PRE-BOOKED SEAT & gave it to some woman, not elderly, child, or sick. I have pictures so dont lie, @Delta!
